I had a happy day today. On LinkedIn my friend James Ferguson of KWIQLY.com fame popped up with an amusing comment on "Rules of Thumb". I countered and was challenged to get back to work. I thank James for that an this brief returning post is in honor of his support.
As I wrote in April, my 64 year stride was interrupted by circulatory issues caused by poor maintenance. Yes, I do buildings a lot better than my own body. And I am very fussy about cars as well.
I have started a few public presentations by telling the audience I live in a house built in 1853 and on the weekends I drive a 1960 Buick. "And I am here to talk about sustainability and maintenance of assets."
So with a renewed outlook on health and a real desire to share knowledge gained I want to start on many current and critical topics. They include:
Efficiency
Waste
Design for maintenance
Cogeneration & Trigeneration
Delta T.
Absorption
Managerial Politics
and the Supportive Role of Management.
Did you ever sit in a meeting thinking that there is no one in this room I would associate with outside of work.
Have you ever looked at a person and had the conscious thought that no matter now inept or incompetent they seem someone chose them for their job. They did not give it to themselves.
These are thoughts and topics of my mind. I know how to combat these and put on a little smile in the presentation.
Tomorrow I plan a surprise for cogeneration. I am for it and can make a plant run. Would I want my son to be responsible for construction, start up, and implementation of a plant? Nope!
Find out; we are going places the other guys are scared to go.
